Comprar LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO (editorial Libros del Futuro)

Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

Added support for subscribing to LitePub (Pleroma-style) Fediverse Relays like e.g. https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to improve federation. See snac(8) (the Administrator Manual) for more information on how to use this feature.

Added support for following hashtags. This is only useful if your instance is subscribed to relays (see above).

Added support for a Mastodon-like /authorize_interaction webpoint entry, that allows following, liking and boosting from another account's Mastodon public web interface. To be able to use it, you must reconfigure your https proxy to redirect /authorize_interaction to snac (see snac(8)).

Some fixes to accept Event objects properly (like those coming from implementations like https://gancio.org/ or https://mobilizon.fr).

Added some caching for local Actor objects.

Hashtags that are not explicitly linked in a post's content are shown below it.

Fixed broken NetBSD build (missing dependency in Makefile.NetBSD).

The user profile can now include longitude and latitude data for your current location.

Mastodon API: implemented limit= on notification fetches (contributed by nowster), implemented faster min_id handling (contributed by nowster), obey the quiet public visibility set for posts, other timeline improvements (contributed by nowster).

Reduced RSA key size for new users from 4096 to 2048. This will be friendlier to smaller machines, and everybody else out there is using 2048.

If the SNAC_BASEDIR environment variable is defined and set to the base directory of your installation, you don't have to include the base directory in the command line.

Fixed a bug in the generation of the top page (contributed by an-im-dugud).

Added support for Markdown headers and underlining (contributed by an-im-dugud).

This release has been inspired by the song Nine Hundred Miles by #BarbaraDane.

Some technical details for those interested:
The entire FediMeteo setup runs on a FreeBSD VM costing around 4 euros per month. It supports almost all major EU countries (plus the UK), with just a few left to complete. Currently, there are 25 separate jails, each running its own instance of snac, totaling 25 instances. The VM load typically stays around 10%, which increases to 30% when updates are published for countries with larger numbers of cities (currently Germany and Italy). The only time the load spikes is when new countries are announced; during that time, all remote instances connect to all cities to download their details.
As for RAM usage, excluding the ZFS cache, it's currently a total of 213 MB. Yes, MB.

Every time I see someone bring up "IQ scores" I feel the need to repeat: IQ scores were literally invented by eugenicists and they've always been biased towards privilege

Also if you haven't noticed, once someone starts to believe they're a genius, they start to think a lot less clearly.

There is no "genius", only learning to love learning and doing, and having access to do so. The problem is that we teach children to loathe education and self-embetterment in all sorts of ways. And for adults, few are given opportunities or encouragement to be able to explore thoughtfully and contribute. Few people can grow into themselves.

We don't teach people to "learn to learn" enough, or to feel that they can love learning, or to give people a chance to *do things*.

"I prefer to meet people where they are" says reasonable-sounding white dude holding court at a table in the back of a Nazi Bar, redux.

There are people out there apparently seriously proposing to spend over *thirty million dollars* and an uncountable amount of labor, to adversarially interoperate with Blue Sky...

@CdnCurmudgeon Are you being silly?

Fascism wasn't a phenomenon tied to the geography of DE

In fact, Hitler openly stated he was modeling the US

Hitler really dug prison slave labor exemption, especially when disproportional amount of ppl in prison being black, who are then forced with violence to work

Also, Churchill was an open fascist, unaware of his work in Palestine? Or anything beyond some radio speeches?

Oh yea, the genocide rn, are we rly to pretend you avoided all news about it?

La compra de Twitter (X) de Elon Musk tuvo sus trampas. Se saltó la ley y ahora la SEC (CNMV) lo quiere sentar en el banquillo antes de que Trump y el propio Musk despidan al presidente de la SEC.

Client: Help, emergency. I have 24 hours to move my workload to another server. What do we do?
Me, five minutes later: "Done. Your workload is now running on the new server."
Client: "How did you move over 200GB with just a minute of downtime, from one provider to another and in a different country?"
Me: "Thanks to FreeBSD, ZFS, and a little bit of proactive planning."

I have a task that replicates all the VMs from one server to another every 15 minutes using zfs-send/zfs-receive. This VM connects to a VPN with two reverse proxies.
Meaning, when I move this VM, we don’t need to change any IPs since it’s not directly exposed.
I powered it off, cloned the differences in seconds, and restarted it.

Client in disbelief.
Me, relaxed and happy.

Thank you, FreeBSD, thank you, ZFS!

I think that we the artists and the people should not care about if AI is intelligent or not (it's just a semantic discussion with no interesting conclusions), but who benefits and who is damaged from the current hype.

And this is clear: the bigtech is taking the food from our mouths. Sadly, many artists are hypnotised by the new bling. But it's destroying us and robbing our work. We must take action as soon as possible.

I got asked if I could create a #howto for creating a (public) #NAT64 service - just like I did recently for #BoxyBSD. With #DNS64 and #NAT64 you can also reach resource in the legacy internet (#IPv4) on #IPv6 only systems.

While this is based on #unbound and #tayga, there’s also a solution by using the #OpenBSD's native way which is also running on the other gateway. I’ll share a second how to how to do this in OpenBSD and pf.

https://gyptazy.com/howto-create-a-public-dns64-nat64-gateway/

Unless maintaining it was expensive or a hassle, I would keep it.

No sería lo mismo que con un profesional pero seguiríamos teniendo un perfil bajo de gastos. En el teatro, igual que en el software, siempre me ha parecido más valioso el resultado de partir de poco y usar ingenio y talento para resolver.

No sé cómo terminará la cosa pero veo un cisma. Y si hay que "forzar" a que no se suba la cuota y no se contrate al cantamañanas del profesor seguirá habiendo algunos que tampoco querrán estar.

La asociación está sirviendo (y debería servir en el futuro) para llevar el teatro a sitios como prisiones o residencias de ancianos y tener una finalidad social. Muy pocos recursos pero bastantes ganas. Y entre esos pocos recursos está la falta de una dirección teatral. Claro, cinco eurazos al mes de cuota no dan para casi nada y menos para pagar a un profesional ... Hasta ahora.

Ahora algunos han visto la oportunidad de contratar unas horas al mes a uno de los antiguos profesores de teatro municipal y plantearon primero aprobar que queríamos dirección teatral y luego subir la cuota para poder pagarle. Muy bien todo. ¿O no?

No, porque hay algunos que no queremos pagar esa cuota. Tampoco es que podamos hacerlo pero sobre todo no queremos. ¿Qué ocurre con nosotros? Y ahí estuvimos encallados las últimas dos horas de la junta y el motivo por el que hemos tenido que aplazarlo.

Si se aprobase todo eso, y se va a aprobar, significa que para ser socio de Bóvalo, la asociación, se tendrá que pagar una cuota de cuarenta o cuarenta y cinco eurazos o si no ... No se podrá ser socio, ¿no? Si no pagas no puedes pertenecer. Al menos yo lo veo así. Hacer teatro juntos en ese caso no tiene sentido. Unos podrán estar dirigidos y otros no; será estupendo organizar funciones con esa disposición.

4 panel comic by War and Peas: 1st Panel: The Grim Reaper is standing in front of a ghost that hovers over a dead body. He says, "Thank you for using our soul-reaping services." 2nd Panel: He continues, "Would you say your death-experience was Good, Great, Not Sure?" 3rd Panel: The ghost just angrily stares at the Grim Reaper. 4th Panel: The Grim Reaper says, "I'm gonna put down great."

Lo cierto es que hay algunos a los que se les sale la sonda y no saben mear.

La derecha y demás morralla llevan tiempo intentando (y consiguiendo) que cuestionar ese pasado en concreto sea molesto o incluso peligroso en algunos sitios y eso nos va a llevar otra vez a tiempos tenebrosos, ya no creo que haya vuelta atrás por desgracia.

Y mira que en los chavales pobres (la mayoría) puedo entender que anhelen la vuelta de ese pasado "mejor" porque futuro no les hemos dejado mucho; ¿pero los ricos? ¿Los hijos y familiares de familias pudentes -ricas- quieren ese pasado mejor porque éste les parece malo? ¿En qué?

Bueno, quizás sea porque como decía Miles Vorkosigan en Barrayar tenían bonitos uniformes y botas de caballería, y eso siempre tira siempre que no exista riesgo como hemos podido ver hace unos días en Carabanchel o en el Garibaldi.

UPDATE: I haven't seen Recall in action there. I was just asking the doctor how they'll deal with it.

This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."

In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.

I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.

I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

Durante 60 años el estado ha reparado, mantenido y promocionado el castillo. El parque adyacente que sufrió la misma suerte hace poco también. ¿Vamos a recuperar de alguna manera esas inversiones o como siempre además de puta ponemos la cama y el condón?

O mejor aún, ¿cobraremos IBI o cualquier otro impuesto a la duquesa de marras y su casa nobiliaria o seguiremos igual, intentando negociar cualquier acuerdo porque la propiedad privada es intocable?

Lo mismo tres millones de euros anuales de IBI la convencen de hacer una donación al estado español, que tanto quieren y por el que tanta sangre derramarían, y así todos ganamos.

Hoy no tengo el día para pensar con equidad, lo reconozco. No obstante estoy harto de que ciertos lugares estén protegidos por el estado pero éste no tenga la más mínima potestad sobre ellos.

No, Elon Musk no es un simple loco. Todo lo que ha hecho y todos sus apoyos a la extrema derecha le han reportado beneficios directos. Y lo de Groenlandia, Panamá, Alemania, UK, etc., también...

This is the FediMeteo VPS's LibreNMS CPU graph.

A significant spike occurs in the early afternoon, where the activity level reaches nearly 100, marking a sharp increase in activity. This spike coincides with the announcement by @FediFollows of new cities. Throughout most of the day, activity levels fluctuate between 10 and 40, with some peaks reaching up to 50 at different times. Notably, some of these levels coincide with backup operations. Early morning and late evening hours show lower activity levels, generally ranging between 10 and 20. The graph clearly highlights the midday burst of activity, followed by a return to more moderate levels throughout the rest of the day.

The screenshot displays a time-series graph from the FediMeteo VPS (by LibreNMS), tracking activity levels over a 24-hour period. The x-axis represents time, and the y-axis shows the CPU level, ranging from 0 to 100. The graph consists of orange bars indicating the intensity of the activity.

A big, huge thank you to the Open-Meteo team.
Patrick told me that they appreciate the project, that we can continue, and he provided me with tools to go beyond the allowed calls.
At this point, I’m fixing a few things to improve the addition of countries and cities, and... we’re moving forward!

Social media’s golden rule: if you see someone having fun, shame them for not taking the world’s problems seriously enough. Rinse, repeat.

Aerc (TUI) is also fine. It supports multiple accounts natively, but you can't move messages from one account to another (that I know of). I find the interface a little kludgy.

But everybody and their dog is sending HTML mail these days, and though both programs do their best to convert to text / use the alternative plain text format, you always have the sinking feeling that you are missing something (and sometimes you really are missing something).

Thunderbird is OK. It has its annoyances, but it's solid, multi-account, and supports everything. Sometimes it starts burning all my CPU cores at 100% and I don't know why, it's probably doing some garbage collection or whatever.

Evolution (GUI) is also kinda fine, but it's GNOME, and you may not like that. It's heavy.

Claws Mail (GUI) is also OK. It's lighter than Evolution or Thunderbird, but in the past it did something wrong that annoyed me and that I cannot remember and I stopped using it.

I also remember using Kmail (KDE) more 15 years ago and it was also OK, but a bit sluggy.

Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!

UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!

UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added

Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.

FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.

You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).

Currently supported countries include:
Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!

FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.

Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
https://fedimeteo.com

Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️

FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.
